Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the urgent query regarding affixing a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) to e-invoices. While CGST Rules suggest it's not mandatory for e-invoices issued under the IT Act, some parties are demanding it. The advice provided is to generate your invoice through accounting software, affix your company's DSC to that PDF, and then use the e-invoice downloaded from the IRP as a supporting document.
